Please consider the following scenario in your response regarding ethical and cultural considerations within assessment.
It is your first day on the job as a mental health counsellor within a non-profit mental health organization that works with a multicultural centre within your city. Your caseload will include individuals from a variety of backgrounds and populations such as newcomers to Canada, refugees, and new residents who are unable to access provincial/territorial health benefits yet. You will be able to provide short-term counselling. You receive your caseload and are told you are allowed 60 minutes for an initial assessment with your newly assigned clients.
How will you ensure that you follow ethical considerations within the assessment process? What steps will you take?
What should clients be notified of regarding possible legal situations?
What are two examples of culturally informed practices that you may use within the assessment process?
At least two questions should be answered fully within your posts in the Discussion Boards to be considered proficient. The questions are also meant to spark discussion.
